Hi, i have a series 4, should I upgrade ?

@@ramblr5900unless your watch is starting to show signs of wear then no, i also have a series 4 and its perfectly functional

I used the hand gestures from accessibility for my series 6 and over the two years since feature was released it was a huge battery drain and basically wrecked my battery which is at 78%. I’m happy to see it being used as mainstream for some features as the new chip and battery efficiencies would’ve offset the initial burn I was experiencing. I’ve ordered the ultra2 so looking forward to it all.

I want to upgrade from a series 4. Both options are great and both at very different price points.

Actually in the watch se you can get the assistive touch thing too by just updating it so get the se it’s cheap and has like 85% to 90% of the same features

My Daughter got me the SE for gift. First time user but usually into tech. It was not what I expected but after first week was addicted. Was really impressed how apps like stocks etc make it so you dont need phone in hand all time. It was way more functional than expected.

This will be my 1st apple watch ever and 1st smart watch in over 7 years. So I think I'll go for Series 9.

I just updated from a gen 1 to a Series 9. I was able to snag it with cellular for $499 for the 45mm and am pretty pleased so far.

Thanks for sharing. I’m staying with my Watch Series 7. Blessings on your day!

Going from SE1 to series 9, motivated by trade in value from apple store of $90.

I just moved from a 40mm 7 series to 44mm SE. No change in performance, just as snappy. I wanted bigger face without paying silly price. I don’t miss always on display (never used it save battery) so far I’m really impressed with the SE. For day to day use it’s just as good as the 7 which I rocked for two years and three months. Was looking a bit worn and tired.

I was looking for some video like this. Well differentiated. Thanks 🙏

Tnx, exactly the information i was looking for.

SE is definitely the way to go hands down!

This review helped me make take the right decision. Thanks mate

very well explained. not just like other channels just reading off ads or apple spec sheets. thank you.

SE is the perfect value/quality watch AW. Two days battery life with two hours of GPS training outside. Always on display isn't a big thing, neither the size of the display or ECG. I think fast charging is the shttest thing that apple cut from SE watch.

I had an older SE and just upgraded to the series 8. I am happy with it, I don’t need the 9 due to the price difference. I am loving the always on display and 1mm larger is actually noticeable to me. I don’t mind 1000 nits. Seems fine to me.

Prob go with SE bc it will be my first Apple Watch. Thanks for the info

I’ve pre ordered the S9 because my Samsung gear S3 is starting to give up the ghost saying that it is 6 years old, looks like I’ll receive it in about a week 😊

I love my se2 its more than enough for me I dont need any extra features what I will never use it. I never had any issue to see the watch in direct sunlight, and its fast enough.

What size do you have? My wrist is 165mm and I do like smaller watches what you suggest?

I have the SE and this is my first so I will wait but I really enjoyed your vidéo thank you ❤

Would you upgrade if you have the original se

Are the heart rate sensors and sleep, blood oxygen etc. Better than the SE?

I just lost my Apple Watch Series 3. I’m excited to get the Series 9 since it’s been a while since I’ve had a new one. I never thought I’d depend on my Apple Watch as much as do. But I love it & can not be without one. I’m a mom & professor so the convenience of a smart watch is important for my life style. Thanks for this review. It made me feel better about my choice to go for the 9 over the other newer version.

Thank you for your review, very interesting! I have an Apple Watch series 4 and I was thinking if it’s worth the buy to change it for an SE, especially for the battery, mine is literally dying ☠️

I wear a series 3 still. Still works great

should i get one and is it worth it and which series should i get?!

Pre ordered the 9, as this would be my very first smart watch.

I rolled with the series 9. You know the old saying, better to have and not use then need and not have. Referring to the upgrades.

After watching a couple of your videos, if you already have an SE probably worth sticking with it for another year. If you are just buying one now then go with a 9 or ultra if you don't mind pay the extra over the SE price.

Thx very helpful 😊

My wife still uses her apple watch 3.. She is absolutely happy with it and I was hoping Apple will finally redesign the apple 9 so that I can upgrade her series 3,but unfortunately.. I think we will need to wait for the 10.. Let's see

I am looking to replace a Garmin watch. (Venu SQ) It is struggling with things like connection after 2 years of use and I have a iPhone. My wrist is thin, so the Ultra are too big for me. I want at least all the features my Garmin watch has. I want to flip my arm to see the time, so not always on. Would it be possible to wear a SE 2023 for 24 hours in a row without going empty? What would be the benefits of cellular or no cellular? And looking at longer term durability, would a 9 last much longer than a SE 2023 or would it just be the same?

Great video! For me, personally, I am looking specifically for some of the health apps including blood oxygen an ECG, so it looks like the series 9 is the way to go. I did have a series 3 in the past so I’m sure the 9 will feel like quite an upgrade Thanks very much really enjoyed your informative and impartial opinions and review

Great video thanks! I really think i want the SE but not having the always on display bothers me. as someone who runs and does crossfit, and plans to use it daily do you think it's a big hustle? Is the turn your hand to view on SE works well and don't interrupt in daily use?

Will the display stay on if I have timer running on the Apple Watch SE 2023 model?

amazing video! this helps a lot

i currently have a farmin vivoactive 3 still from, what was it, 2018? Really trying to chose which watch to get right now

Mister Greg this did not help me :( I'm still undecided I'm waiting on something to push me over the line one or the other and I'm not finding it. Do you have any extra juicy intel on these products? Does one take longer to charge than the other?

Do you think iphone 14 pro max can get find my iPhone option in an update later as apple watch series 9 won’t find the precious location for Iphone models other than 15

I was split over which one to buy, series 9 or se. Saw few other videos but not satisified. I like the way you start off with tons of confidence. Hope your video will be useful to make my purchasing decision. (Wrote at 1st min of your video)

I've never owned any smart watch. Which one should I buy? I also want to reduce my screen time by using Apple Watch.

I own a series 3 , oh yeah and it still works great. Do you recommend upgrading to 8 or 9(the price 🤔). I’m >45 years so looking for something that will run for the next 6 years. I’m mostly interested in the health tracking features and I use it to track fitness as well

I'm thinking of going for the 9. IS that the only one which allows the ECG?

Look man I’ve had the series 2 well before the 7, I’ve had an Apple Watch that doesn’t have an AOD, it makes a big difference. I’m not sure why you’re recommending the SE when the 7 will be similarly priced but include more features. I don’t recommend this video necessarily, just do your own research on apple watch specs and figure out which one is best for you.

Thanks to this video I’m a lot more happy upgrading from my Fitbit versa 2 I got January 2019 (perfect timing, right 😅) and no longer serves my lifestyle quite right to the SE!!

I'm in the same boat. Are you enjoying the se? Any regrets not getting the 9? I'm in 2 minds what to get

I have the first SE watch and it works fine for me. The only think I really use my watch for is for alarms and checking messages. Occasionally I turn the sleep feature on.I like to watch videos on the newer watches because I'm sure at some point I'll see one that really interests me. Guess I am just waiting for the right one. Just want to reiterate that the SE is a great watch!

I’m thinking to upgrade to the 9 only because I want thinner black border

I got the series 9 45mm only because I wanted pink, so my husband got my series 7 and I gave away my series 3 and SE . Definitely don’t see a difference between the 7 & 9

Thanks for this!

Thank you very much! This was what I needed to know as never owning an apple watch before. I'll get the SE :)

Upgrading from first gen SE to series 9

why is there no metal bracelet for the ultra 2? and the series 9 costs 1149 Euro with metal strap

So at the start of the year i made the move from Samsung to apple (phone - 14 Pro Max) and have been running with my galaxy watch in the clunky way that that happens. I have the option of a 1.5mo SE 40mm gps/cellular watch for $200 (AU$) from a friend. I dont think I need lots of fluff of the series 9, so I'm guessing this would be the way to go for me?

I own a Apple Watch 6 at this time. I do not plan on moving to a new Apple Watch until new health tracking features are part of a new model. The model I would be moving to is the Ultra with the sapphire crystal watch face. I have owned a high end precision watch in the past with sapphire crystal watch face that cost as much as the Ultra. The only thing it did was tell time.

Awesome video! Thanks

I first ordered a SE in starlight. My first. Loved it so much I ordered a 9 with a Hermes’ band…❤

I will like ultra 1 if price get down 😊

Will the midnight attract fingerprints like on the M2 MacBookAir?

thank you sir

does the new se has keyboard in cellular version?

Ordered the ultra 2 :)

I have ordered the Apple Watch Series 9 without cellular! Cellular is of no use to me as ,y iPhone 14 Pro goes everywhere with me, literally everywhere!

I have a ultra I use my wife got it for me cause she works for the phone and cable company so she gets 70 percent off Apple and Samsung phones and cellular watches. My girl uses her watch to work out mostly and to track. I pre ordered her for her birthday next month the midnight 41mm Nike midnight sky series 9. She will be coming from a series 3 so I figured it would be nice upgrade. Especially since the series 3 isn’t getting the new watchOS update. I think the Apple Watches are great. Me being a ex d1 athlete who’s stuck working in the world that still plays and works out and likes to track everything i think it’s awesome. Personally I think the best watch for outdoors and tracking is the new garmin. But the accessibility and integration with Apple just makes it a no brainer over anything even better!

Can’t wait for the in depth review

when will watch os 10 be available ????

I still have series 3. And I still think I will stick with them for probably next year or two. Those new watches are amazing but there is still no "big reason" for me to upgrade. If they would gave me at least a two-three day battery?! I would upgrade immediately.

I only have the Apple Watch Series 5 and look into upgrade. Be off to the Apple Store to pick up a new series 9.

Could get a normal series watch over an SE if I have the money mainly for display design.

I had apple watch 8, I gave it to someone else who liked it and plan on buying SE. I was not using any of the extra features that SE does not have. Really, I thought always on display would be the one thing I would use but would turn it off to have battery last longer. For sleep and activity tracking I dont like apple watch very much anyway and rely more on whoop or fitbit. So watching weather, spotify, podcast, pick the phone, watch time, check sound volumes , talk on the phone, and some other stuff were the main.

I am so torn, I LOVE the look of the series 9 and always on display and more storage. The price difference is insane though….

I was very confused as to why you mentioned the series 5 at first, but now It makes sense at the end of the video. I thought you just meant series 9, I think in the future adding, "when comparing it to previous models like the series 5 that already have these features" would be more clear. Vs just randomly mentioning the series 5 mid video when talking about ECG between the SE and 9.
